Ole Miss Shuts Out Tulane State Gets 9-3 Victory At Houston 210 In Main-Swept Stadium Furlow-To-Burrcll Pass Saves Maroons Dabbs Scores Two Tossed By Griffing By WAYNE THOMPSON Clarion-Ledger Sports Editor Handicapped by a rainy night, a slow start and perhaps memories of another such evening here in Jackson against Tulane, the Ole Miss Rebels took to the air Saturday night and defeated the Green Wave 21 to 0.

The State coaches had been concerned that their aerials might be hampered if the deluge continued. PASSING DANGEROUS Instead it was quite as dry as a passer might want but it was Cougars doing mast of the catching. Furlow had two intercepted, the first setting the stage for Houstons early field goal and the second stifling a Maroon threat near the ougar goal line, and Fisher had one picked off that killed a scoring chance just before the half.

The first Houstori interception by Paul Reinhardt near midfield put State on the defensive only three plays from the opening kick-off. The Maroons held after the Cougars worked in as far as the 30 so Brezina lofled a punt that fumble on third down killed the threat. Otherwise the Greenies showed the same lack of finesse as they had in four previous games, all defeats at the hands of such clubs as Stanford, Texas, Alabama and Miss. State. FANS LEAVE One quick oddity comes to mind and that is: more people were in the stands before the kickoff than at the end of the first period.

The rain started falling about 45 minutes before the kickoff but did not GALLOPING REBEL Here -Saturday night to see the Cougars try to check a two-game losing string against Southeastern Conference opposition. Not nearly that many were around at the finish however, when State staged its fantastic comeback to apply for a third straight S.E.C. setback on Houston for a terrific rain-storm washed over the stadium in the second half. A Houston field goal early in the first half, coming after recovering its own punt that had bounced off a Maroon, held up almost all the way. Not until Cougar Coach Bill Yeoman elected to give State two points on a safety with Bobby Brezina kneeling in the end zone on a punting situation did State score.

STATE TALLY" But that tally with 2:10 left was immediately followed by a touchdown thrust from a free kick with Quarterback Charlie Bob Furlow passing long through the drizzle to Halfback Odie Burrell covering 24 yards. First downs were even at 10 apiece. Houston had a 161-131 rushing advantage led by Joe Lopasky's 94 on 17 carries. Mack-ie Weaver led State with 53 on 10. State hit only eight of 20 passes with three intercepted for 79 yards to Houston's 2 of 10 for 10.

Furlow completed only five of 15 for 58 yards and Sonny Fisher three of five for 21.
